[quote=Anonymous]To the OP, you asked how I've kept our in-laws from moving in. For one, I'm not of the culture. I'm American, and I made a point to gently demonstrate how many things they'd find intolerable about the way I run my household, and that I would not be changing anything to their ways. They did not need to live with us, and they have plenty of others to live with. It was just a matter of eldest son expectations.

I had to be careful about it, as I didn't want to hurt any feelings, but between personality issues and cultural lifestyle differences, we would all have hated each other within a week. My MIL has hated me ever since, anyway, and has made things very difficult for us. Her continuing negative behavior makes me glad every day that I had the foresight and strength to keep them from moving in.

It was also important that I finally got my husband to look at it realistically and see that it wouldn't work, because he naturally would always prefer to have his family live with us. If you want that, you need to pick a wife of your culture who's easy going and likes appeasing, pleasing, and placating everyone, like a previous poster described herself. [/quote]
